i like to use flak but cant figure out how this upgrade/downgrade thing about him works, as well as his special please post with info

Upgrade/downgrade? I've no idea what you are talking about...

Flak's power is based all on luck. When you use his super CO power, he may either get a really strong hit like Kanbei, or a really weak shot like Colin. However, I think he gets weaker shots more often. I wouldn't recomend using him, unless you like saving before every attack and restarting a lot.

That is not true, Flak's attack can go down up to 20% or go up 40% in an overall gain of 20% more attack power with his power.

Flak's Super power gives him up to 70% more damage or up to 30% less damage in an overall gain of 40% more damage.

But, Nell is just much better than Flak in every way so Flak is not recommended.

I agree. Nell has all the good upgrades of Flak but her power is still based on luck, however, if she doesn't get the extra firepower, she will do normal damage and she more often gets the increase in firepower.

DON'T USE FLAK WORST CO EVER POWER MAKES HIS WEPONS -5 WEAKER THANK NORMAL SUPER POWER MAKE HIM WEAKER-10

Thats not true, his attack power will go up 20% on avg w/ his power and 40% on average with his super power.

Flak, Nell and Sonja are known as the 3 Luck COs

Flak: well he gets a chance to do some good damage but the chances are similar to rolling a 6

Nell: she's broken, normal firepower but 2/3 times she attacks she'll do extra damage and when she uses her SCOP it's even worse as in an Infantry kills a Neotank bad

Sonja: she's the excact opposite of Nell she'll do normal damage but sometimes she'll do less, her SCOP is really good though and it dosn't break her like Nell's (but Nell's allready broken she dosn't need her SCOP to break her)

so out of the 3 Luck COs Sonja's the best choice if you want a good allround CO and want to be taken seriously by other players

omg he's good every co's good for something which in his case is being great with tanks Sonja seeing in the fog of war and
nell for being a leader and her great luck

flak's a little bit like nell (if you play AWDS, you'd know who jugger is, the same specialty) but not luck, chance. You may think I'm a little crazy but there is a little difference there... and like skythelegend, it's a good idea to choose Sonja, as she's an alrounder
these are the 3 alrounders of the game that i know of: andy, sonja and adder. I feel like I'm missing someone. who is it

but hachi's unfair to all other COs-he has no weakness. same with jake. rachel doesn't count because her 3 hp healing uses up double money. I'd say hawke, too. his SCOP is long, but I don't buy it. same with sturm. von bolt doesn't really count cuz his weakness is a bad SCOP (in my opinion) and same with sasha. no weakness, but not much of a strength in my opinion gaining an extra 100 funds from bases (only works good when she has lots of bases) and I'd say colin, too. His weakness is in the form of defense the most, but i think that his firepower is normal. once again, in my opinion.

eagle(my secound favorite best being sturm)great air units
greatttttt scop
drake:decent fire power but better scop

you agree mate?

YES! every one has something good, their SCOP. andy may be a boring alrounder, but his SCOP isn't. I totally agree with you, especially with hachi. he's the best CO in the game, in my opinion. I totally agree with you, but who do you think is the best CO in AW? do YOU aggree with ME about hachi being the best? (phew, I said I totally agree with you twice )

i rest my case you can't stop us

hmm, we have some things in common (looks like you love advance wars, cuz advance wars is pretty much my life)

same here mate ps: incase ya wondering i don't mind how old you are il still be ya mate your safeeee
